Recent criticism of religion that has been mounted by secular
intellectuals has disturbed many people of faith and so requires a
robust response. The anxiety caused has been underestimated by the
leaders of faith communities. The wider cultural exposure of the
ideas of the new atheists and the subsequent respectability now
attaching to their ideas has emboldened many more people in opinion
polls to self-identify as atheist or of no religion. At the same
time, however, the tone of the criticism has too often been
hostile, dismissive and condescending in public discussion. What is
needed is a more temperate debate that allows those not inhabiting
the opposite ends of the spectrum to be more clearly heard.There
are real questions, problems and concerns that do not admit of
pre-packaged concerns. No single position can monopolise the truth
and many non-believers today wish to engage in a more constructive
dialogue with people of faith than the standard bearers of the 'new
atheism' seem to allow. Many of the arguments and claims in this
book apply in different ways to the other Abrahamic faiths and
perhaps even beyond these. For this reason, this work may now be of
interest to an Arabic audience. Dr Muneer Al-Ali with his patient
and hardworking effort has achieved translating quite complex ideas
into an accessible Arabic idiom.
In a tense time where science and religion are seen as two mutually
exclusive topics, this revolutionary new book by Dr. Muneer Al-Ali
aims to change the entire atmosphere around the ideas. Being a
scientific Tafsir (commentary) of Qur'an accompanied with a
priceless scientific discussion of faith, this book successfully
spiritualizes science without attempting to enable victory of faith
on naturalism. Using modern science to demonstrate the tangibility
of faith, this invaluable spiritual tool finally bridges the gap
between the soul nurturing positivity of religion and the
all-encompassing complexity of science. A Scientific Tafsir of
Qur'anic Verses: Interplay of Faith and Science is an eye-opening
book that sheds light on the science and philosophy of the religion
of Islam and to that matter, faith in God generally. Delving into
the interplay between science and religion, Al-Ali touches on the
creation of the universe, creationism and evolution, judgment day,
the process of faith in God, and scientifically proving the
historic events that were mentioned in the divine books.
Specifically focusing on the teachings of the Qur'an, this book
balances the issues of science and faith in a way that doesn't
detract from either aspect. By emphasizing the ability to be a
pious person while also pursuing scientific endeavors, this guide
sheds light on the mutually inclusive nature of the two topics.
